FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the pinless design?
The pinless design allows for moisture measurement without piercing the material, preventing damage to surfaces like finished wood, paint, or wallpaper.
How do I select the correct material for measurement?
Use the device's interface to navigate through the available wood types (37) and building materials (10) and select the one that most closely matches the material being tested.
What does the IP65 rating mean for this device?
The IP65 rating signifies that the device is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for challenging job site conditions.
Can I use this meter on very wet materials?
Yes, the meter is designed for a range of moisture levels. For excessively wet materials, ensure the sensor makes good contact and select the appropriate material setting for the most accurate reading.
What is 'Reference Mode' used for?
